This Katy Perry, John Mayer Thing Is Actually Happening; We Kind Of Get It


When Us Weekly first reported spotting Katy Perry and John Mayer canoodling at Soho House in West Hollywood last week, we had mixed feelings — doubt, confusion, reluctant understanding, nostalgia for the Russell Brand days. And those feelings haven’t gone away now that we have photographic evidence that the two singers have been enjoying each other’s company. They were snapped in a car outside the Chateau Marmont, also in West Hollywood, on Wednesday night. A witness told Us they were holding hands across the table, kissing and laughing together.

We sort of get it. On his side, he clearly loves stunning, very famous ladies, with fantastic curves (or two out of three in the case of Taylor Swift). On Katy’s side, we did hear that the main rift between her and Russell was that he was ready to settle down while she still wanted to party it up and enjoy her youth, fame and fortune. Dating a notorious player like Mayer is certainly a good place to start when sowing wild oats. That’s probably what she thought she was getting with admitted sex addict Brand, after all.

For the love of music, though, please no one encourage these two to sing a duet. The thought of their clashing styles makes our ears hurt.

Miley Cyrus’ Home Swarmed By Cops, Who Were Not There To Scold Her For Nude Pics

Miley Cyrus

Police, the fire department and a rescue squad all showed up at Miley Cyrus‘ house in Los Angeles yesterday, responding to a 911 call. And no, it wasn’t someone freaking out over her latest nude-photo leak. Turns out Cyrus and the emergency responders were the victims of a despicable prank called “swatting,” in which people call in fake emergencies to 911 in order to get SWAT teams to show up, and we really hope the game doesn’t spread further due to this story.

“We responded to a call of a kidnapping in progress, one person shot, at an address on Amanda Drive,” North Hollywood police told ABC News. The house, it turns out, was completely empty.

Twilight Costar Says Fans Won’t “Give A S—” About Robsten Drama When Breaking Dawn Comes Out. Is She Right?

Christian Serratos Says Twilight Fans Don't Care about Robsten Break Up

Does the idea of seeing Breaking Dawn Part 2 in theaters knowing about Robsten’s sad public scandal make your vamp-loving heart break? Or do the real world shenanigans of Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson not affect your love of Bella and Edward in the slightest? According to Robsten’s Twilight costar Christian Serratos, true fans won’t bat an eye seeing Kristen and Rob on the big screen post-cheating disaster. “Of course people are fans of us now, but I think above anything, they’re fans of these characters,” she told Us Weekly. “I don’t think anyone’s really gonna give a s—. They’re gonna see the movie; it’s going to be awesome.” Hmmm…we don’t know about that. We’re guessing people are going to give a s— and it’s going to be awesome. The two aren’t mutually exclusive!

Michael Phelps Earns Record 19th Medal; What Kind Of Future Career Could Possibly Top That?

Michael Phelps Earns 19th Medal

Wow! Color us impressed, Michael Phelps. The only way we’re getting into the record books is if we gain 1,700 lbs or bake the world’s largest cookie. Now that we think of it…we could probably kill two birds with one stone with that scheme… While we have the flour dispensary on hold, let’s take a moment to celebrate Phelps’ mind-shattering 19th career Olympic medal, the most won by any other Olympian in the history of the universe. After receiving a disappointing silver for the 200-meter butterfly earlier today, Phelps went on to win the gold for his 4×200-meter freestyle relay team. “Congrats to @MichaelPhelps for making Olympic history again tonight. Glad I had the honor of competing on the same stage as you. #TeamUSA,” teammate and total sweetheart Ryan Lochte just tweeted.

As awesome as Phelps’ achievement is, we have to wonder: how can he ever top this? The guy is only 27 and he’s basically at the height of human achievement. Well, don’t worry, Mike. We’ve given this a lot of thought, and we have some solid suggestions for possible future careers. We mean, you can’t swim forever! Though of course, if anyone could it would be you.

In Case You’re Wondering What He’s Been Up To: Cuba Gooding Jr. Wanted For Arrest Over Shoving Bartender

Cuba Gooding Jr. Wanted Over Bar BrawlWe interrupt your heart-warming, drool-inducing Olympic coverage for a story that will bring tears to your eyes in a different way. In the bad way, is what we’re saying. Academy Award-winner Cuba Gooding Jr. currently has a warrant out for his arrest for “municipal battery”; the charge is due to an alleged altercation early this morning between Gooding and a New Orleans bartender. “He was apparently getting rowdy when people were trying to take photos, and he got aggravated,” NOPD Director of Public Affairs Remi Braden told Celebuzz. “The bartender tried to calm him down, at which time he allegedly pushed her, and before he left the bar he pushed her again.” So we guess that answers what Cuba’s been up to lately. We don’t mean to be glib, but we honestly blame Snow Dogs for this. And Boat Trip. And Radio. And…

Gooding might currently be a wanted man, but we doubt it’ll be too difficult for the authorities to track hm down. He’s currently in the Big Easy filming Lee Daniels‘ history drama The Butler with Oprah, Forest Whitaker, Nicole Kidman and just about every other A-lister in Hollywood. This is going to make conversation around the craft services table just a teensy bit awkward this week. Hopefully Cuba will turn himself in soon and we can all get back to some good old floor routines! Look, over here! Forget about that Oscar-winner-about-to-be-arrested stuff! Floor routines!

Taylor Swift Dating Conor Kennedy – Has Massachusetts Found Its New Queen Of Camelot?

To the rest of the world, the news that Taylor Swift, 22, is dating Conor Kennedy, the 18-year-old son of Robert Kennedy Jr, is just another juicy gossip story. But to us Massachusetts natives, this is THE love story of the year. Liking the Kennedys is just what we do. It’s an unexplained and unquestioned rule of growing up in the Bay State, like calling milkshakes frappes and liquor stores packies. They are are our royals, holding court at the top alongside James Taylor, Tom Brady, and Mr. Dunkin Donuts.

Nina Dobrev Says She And Ian Somerhalder Won’t Be Getting Hitched Soon, Kinda Disses Miley Cyrus

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev

While the Twi-hard world struggles to put the pieces back together following last week’s Kristen Stewart cheating news, fans of another vampire couple might be understandably wary of putting too much faith in their real-life romance. So far as we know, The Vampire Diaries stars Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder are still going strong. (And we’re reeeeallly hoping that now that Elena is a vampire, she’ll follow in the L.J. Smith books’ plot and fully fall for Damon onscreen too.) But that doesn’t mean that there are wedding bells in their near future, either.

“Eventually I am going to marry and have a family but not anytime soon,” she told Canada’s Fashion magazine, via UsMagazine.com. “I’m not going to pull a Miley.”

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson Breakup Rumors Spread To Poor Pup Bear

Kristen Stewart and Bear Pattinson

Believe us when we say, we really, really want these depressing Robsten headlines to stop arriving in our inboxes/news feeds/brain-implanted gossip receptors. But as long as they come, it’s our job to report them, with a bit of a reality check, of course. Today’s comes from RadarOnline, which reports that the latest bit of collateral damage in the possible breakup is Bear, the mixed-breed dog that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart adopted from a shelter in New Orleans.

“After Rob moved his things out of their Los Angeles apartment, he then told Kristen he wanted Bear,” an insider reportedly told the gossip site. “She was heartbroken — they adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby.”

Kristen Stewart Moves Out Of Her Robsten Lovenest, World’s Largest Frowny Face To Follow

Kristen Stewart moves out of her home with Robert Pattinson

The home that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson shared in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz now stands empty. K-Stew packed her bags over the weekend after Rob did the same late last week. The move-out follows news that the two are no longer on speaking terms in the wake of Kristen’s affair with her Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. Allegedly the two have only exchanged terse texts in recent days.

The story of their once golden romance seems to be going from bad to worse, as rumors are surfacing that Kristen’s “momentary indescrision” with Sanders has actually been going on for quite some time. Photos of the pair having what appears to be a romantic dinner back in May are coming to night, and even Rupert’s own friends and family suspect that this was no one-night-stand. His wife Liberty Ross believes that it has been going on since filming began, while her brother Leopold tells the British People.Co.UK that ”It was from the last half of filming and all through post-production, clear into last week.”

Perhaps the biggest question on the Twi-Hard community’s mind is: Why would Kristen do this to Rob? Of course there are so many shades of gray (at least 50), but sources close to Stewart are saying that it was done as a result of jealousy over Rob’s friendship with his Remember Me co-star Emilie de Ravin. The Lost actress was going through a divorce during filming in 2009, and Rob apparently provided a sympathetic ear and made her laugh during the rough time.
